Find your inner Swedish Chef with the best fondue set
Popular in the Seventies, fondue is making a comeback as a retro dinner party favourite as it's actually an enjoyable thing to do if you're entertaining family or friends. Getting everyone together around a hot pot of yumminess for a shared dining experience is heart-warming, especially in the colder winter months. We've hand-picked six fabulous fondue sets that are perfect for heating oil, melting cheese or warming chocolate.
Vintage chic
VonShef Swiss Fondue Set
Staff Pick
We love this set's classic, vintage Swedish looks with its single side handle, graduated red exterior and cream interior. Powered by gel fuel or methylated spirits, the set's pot is made of ultra-tough, heavyweight cast iron for excellent heat distribution and retention. It sits on a splash guard to protect against drips and comes complete with six long-stemmed fondue forks with colour-coded handles.

KitchenCraft 3-in-1 Fondue Set
Another set that's powered by gel fuel or methylated spirits, KitchenCraft's fondue set is an excellent three-in-one option that comes with two fondue cooking choices — a ceramic bowl (perfect for cheese and chocolate) and a stainless steel metal pot, both of which fit neatly on the metal stand. There's also a set of six colour-coded fondue forks to avoid mix-ups.
Deluxe dining

This set is the genuinely deluxe option for fondue fans and comes gift-boxed so makes a great present. The set includes six ceramic dipping pots, each with a fondue fork and mini ladle spoon and a rotating, Lazy Susan-style acacia wood base for an attractive table centrepiece. The actual pot is stainless steel with a smooth wood handle and a built-in fork holder.
